place with two thumbscrews. To attach the motor to a Smart Cart:
1. Push the plunger on the Smart Cart all the way in.
2. Place the Smart Cart Motor on the back of the Smart Cart, aligning
the thumbscrew holes on the motor with the accessory holes on the
cart.
3. Insert each thumbscrew into the holes and turn until finger tight.
4. Connect the Smart Cart Accessory cable to the Smart Cart Motor
accessory port and the other end to the Smart Cart accessory port.
When not in use, store the thumbscrews in the Smart Cart Motor threaded
